• Snoring

  Our patient had a relatively asymptomatic leontiasis ossea of long duration with only mild obstructive nasal symptoms, snoring and cosmetic disfigurement. [doi.org]

• Mouth Breathing

  Physical examinations revealed: toggled speech (nasal speech), mouth breathing and facial change, saddle nose, nares widening, increased interdental space and mandibular enlargement. [journalrip.com]

  Although he had facial deformities since early childhood, he professed only to cosmetic embarassment, nasal blockage, mouth breathing, mild snoring and progressing bowing of his shins. There were no other affected family members. [doi.org]

• Widely Spaced Teeth

  Physical exam revealed marked non-tender maxillary and mandibular hypertrophy with nasal flattening, wide-spaced teeth and severe palatal changes. [file.scirp.org]

• Visual Impairment

  Leontiasis ossea can be associated with progressive proptosis, visual impairment or nasal obstruction. [doi.org]

• Joint Subluxation

• Hand Muscle Weakness

  He was discharged home on the 10 th day with residual distal hand muscle weakness and grade 4 muscle power in his legs. [doi.org]

• Neck Pain

  He was able to turn over, but immediately noticed some neck pain and weakness of all four limbs. He was just able to lift his arms and move his legs from side to side. [doi.org]

• Saber Shin

  He had broad forearms, sausage like fingers and bowing of both legs with saber shins (Figure 2 ). The nasal bridge was flat and elevated due to a soft tissue thickening (Figure 1 & 2 ). No café au lait spots were observed. [doi.org]

A medical practitioner should always be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of all medical conditions. [hospitalhelp.co.uk]

There is no treatment other than exposing the overgrown bone, and chipping away pieces, or excising entirely where possible. [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment usually entails parathyroidectomy with monitoring of serum calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D levels while on appropriate replacement (calcium/vitamin D) or binding (phosphate) pharmacotherapy. 4 The prognosis is usually favorable. [appliedradiology.com]

More often, most lesions can be managed through staged procedures with overall very favorable outcomes and good long term prognosis. [skullbaseinstitute.com]

Clinical-Medical Image: Paget disease of the bone is a chronic disorder of unknown etiology that typically results in enlarged, deformed bones due to abnormal and excessive bone remodeling. [imagejournals.org]

Indian J Ophthalmol 1969;17:166-70 Introduction The term leontiasis ossea was first coined by Virchow [6] in 1896 to describe the leonine appearance of the facial deformity in this rare condition of unknown etiology. [ijo.in]

However, nutritional and secondary hyperparathyroidism due to uremia has been suggested as major etiologies for the disease [5]. After parathyroidectomy, facial changes can be stabilized or improve mildly. [file.scirp.org]

Pathophysiological origin of the disease is not clearly understood. However, nutritional and secondary hyperparathyroidism due to uremia has been suggested as major etiologies for the disease [5]. [file.scirp.org]

Hence, early recognition and treatment of leontiasis ossea can prevent its complications. Please cite this paper as: Raffiei Jelodar H, Yarmohamadi M, Baghai Wadji M, Babaei MR. Leontiasis ossea; a rare presentation of secondary hyperparathyroidism. [journalrip.com]

Early recognition andconfident diagnosisof ULO is essential to prevent progression to facial disfigurement andavoid invasive procedures. [posterng.netkey.at]

During hemodialysis patients often develop numerous comorbid conditions that may interfere with the existing disease and prevent further treatment, as was the reported case. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ultimately, early recognition of incipient uremic leontiasis ossea clinically and on imaging is essential to prevent progression to severe disfigurement that can result from prolonged untreated secondary hyperparathyroidism [12]. [file.scirp.org]

Hence, CKD‐MBD patients should be educated about their illness, early prevention, multidisciplinary early diagnosis, and treatment plans, thereby improving their quality of life and long‐term survival.24 We hope this case report will highlight the awareness [asbmr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
